I work in a public library and will be making a collection purchase request, if nothing else than to make the selector squirm.

The bookstores have been one of the steadfast lockdown adherents, haven't they? It's not a good sign for classical liberalism that independent bookstores did so little to oppose being shut down.

Just checked it out from my local library, in a suburb of a epically liberal city. Ha!

It’s on order at the Edmonton Public Library here in Canada, though that might have something to do with the new Premier of our province.

Regardless, kudos to EPL!

Keep us posted. I would trust a review from you.

Based on liberal attitudes toward the jabs, which locally are stuck in Summer 2021, this book will be treated with about as much interest on the left as the Autobiography of Donald Trump Jr

Kheriaty was impressive at Senator Johnson's Second Opinion discussion last January. It's good to hear that he's documenting the historical antecedents to this current eugenics push. It has been racially-based and intelligence-based, and it has been implemented, not only in black communities, but very much also (and maybe even primarily) in the Irish tenements in the big Northern cities. I hope he touches on that, that white European-Americans, along with African Americans and Native Americans, have been targets of the eugenicists all along.

"(He also writes on Substack, but you knew that.) "

No, no I didn't.

But I do now. Starting with annual, see how the book is and will consider Founder for him. Thanks for the suggestion. Despite having complete knowledge of everything I read, listen to, write, and think about, Amazon didn't think to put this book in it's "because you liked X you might like Y" algorithm.

I'm as shocked as you. Must be a glitch.

Just bought it on Amazon. I've bought all the "heretical" books re the last few years even if I haven't read them yet (or don't think I will) and buy them in physical copies vs Kindle since digital copies can be changed without you knowing it. (I have repurchased US history books that we used in our homeschooling days, too, for the same reason, and classics that are now "bad".)

We should buy it just because it is being ignored.

I'll ask my local library to get it.

I cheated ~ my copy automatically dowloaded from Barnes & Noble earlier. As with many such purchases, I worry they will be remotely deleted from my iPad one day as Amazon did with certain digital copies of Animal Farm and 1984, ironically:

They did the same thing with The Real Anthony Fauci, which I ordered from Books-a-Million.

I've had this problem for years. I want to buy the books I want locally or check them out in my city libraries; most of the time I can't find them, even through interlibrary loan systems. Amazon luckily usually has what I want and even though they are my last resort, I am a good customer for books there that others won't carry.

Hi Chris. Thank you for alerting us to the publication of Dr. Kheriaty’s book, since it appears it will be shadow banned. I will order my copy directly from the publisher who took the risk of printing it, rather than a retailer. I’ve heard Dr. Kheriaty speak several times and he is very thoughtful and impressive. He was one of the lights in the darkness of Covid-Land. I’m looking forward to reading his book.

I just submitted a purchase request to my local library. They're pretty good about buying kind of controversial books. I'll let you know what happens.
